Chapter 40 - Chapter 38: The Humans on the Other Side of the Door

Relic site.

It is located inside a two-story command center on the north side of the altar.

"According to the data transmitted back by the advance team, the environment on the other side of the space gate is an exoplanet.

The planet has a sufficiently strong magnetic field to protect its atmosphere from direct radiation, and its atmospheric pressure of 0.9 atmospheres allows our personnel to work on the planet without the need for pressure resistant protective clothing.

Currently, the technical team is about to pass through the space gate to conduct more detailed exploration and testing.

The engineering team is also ready and is expected to pass through the space gate in an hour to begin construction of the forward base."

As a command center with numerous screens and control consoles, reports naturally come in a constant stream, and the Atlas employees sitting at their respective posts are also closely monitoring the situation on the alien planet.

On the second floor of the command center, near the window, a central control console is set up, which generates holographic screens and 3D images to provide first-hand intelligence to the person in charge of the entire base.

The person in charge, who is also the owner of the entire Atlas Corporation, Sui Yang, remained silent, his expression neither pleased nor angry.

This left the staff in the command center completely baffled as to what their boss was thinking.

In contrast, Sui Yang actually had no negative emotions at all, and there was absolutely no way he would relieve his own repression by getting angry or blaming his employees.

At 150 years old, he rarely experiences extreme emotional fluctuations, but when he is thinking. he inevitably puts invisible pressure on the employees around him.

As for the content of his contemplation, it was the world on the other side of the portal.

The abundance of blue color plants and animals, the atmospheric and gravitational environment that allows them to operate without pressure suits, and the gas giant planet in the sky all point to a landmark film from his past life-

Avatar.

The alien planet on the other side of the space gate is Pandora, located about 4.37 light-years from the solar system, and is considered Earth's sister planet in terms of mass and size.

As the technical team conducted exploration and testing, more and more detailed information began to appear on the holographic screen in front of him.

All of this indicates that the alien planet is Pandora.

There are many admirable aspects to Avatar.

For example, the human forces in the movie have already achieved a certain degree of interstellar travel, with the spaceship called Adventure Star taking only 5.9 years to travel from Earth to Pandora.

It sounds like it takes too long, but if you do the math, the Adventure Star has already reached 0.74 times the speed of light, which is only 0.16 times the speed of light away from the threshold of sub-light speed.

The closest distance between Earth and Mars is 0.0000058 light-years. If the Adventure Star were to depart from Earth at its fastest speed, it would take 37 to 38 minutes to reach Mars.

Although the Adventure Star needs to activate its photon sails and accelerate continuously in space to reach 0.74 times the speed of light, the associated nuclear fusion and antimatter engines are enough to enable humanity to carry out colonization operations within the solar system, or to mine mineral resources that are rare on Earth but common on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids.

In addition, the space transport aircraft, codenamed Valkyrie and resembling a large space shuttle, can reach the first cosmic velocity without rocket booster and enter near Earth orbit, greatly enhancing the human side's ability to transport personnel and supplies.

Meanwhile, in Avatar 2: The Way of Water, ships like the Star Adventure, which appear to be frail and fragile, actually demonstrate the ability to enter and exit the atmosphere.

Furthermore, the Valkyrie transport aircraft uses extremely robust non metallic composite materials for its fuselage, which have high tensile strength, but its weight is only a quarter of that of the old space shuttle.

This all demonstrates that the humans in the space movie Avatar broke through numerous material limitations.

Besides technologies related to interstellar travel and colonization, there are also many mechanical exoskeletons and large vehicles, as well as one that Sui Yang is particularly interested in, bioengineering.

The so called Avatar is actually a miner unit developed by the Resources Development Administration (RDA), the largest non-governmental organization in the world, to facilitate the mining of rare minerals on the planet Pandora.

Pandora contains room-temperature superconducting minerals. The floating peaks witnessed by John Doe and Soap are due to this special mineral. It is not only incredibly valuable, but it also allows humanity's technology tree to continue to flourish and advance.

However, apart from the animals living on Pandora and the humanoid Na'vi, who are intelligent species, if humans do not wear breathing masks and choose to be directly exposed on the surface of Pandora, they will faint after more than 20 seconds and die within 4 minutes.

The Avatar Project was conceived to create a workforce of miners who could work on the ground and mine without the need for breathing masks, and who could be fed only on local food from Pandora.

The humans in the film have proven that human twins, or hybrids of humans and animals sharing common DNA, are indeed capable of establishing sensory and conscious connections.

RDA used human genes obtained by participating in the project and donating their own blood and tissue samples to crossbreed with Na'vi genes, successfully creating the new species of Avatars.

Although RDA also uses cloning technology, and avatars may exhibit dream like behavior while in amniotic fluid tanks, each avatar is actually just a shell, without a soul or personality. Only their appearance and body shape are inherited from the human who provided the genes.

By utilizing the technology of establishing sensory connections, they successfully transferred human consciousness to the avatar's brain and completed the process of controlling the avatar.

However, each avatar can only be driven by a specific human who provided the genes. But if the driver's genes are highly similar to those of the avatar, then it is still possible to unlock and drive it.

The male protagonist's twin brother was the original driver. The protagonist was temporarily requisitioned by the RDA because his brother died in an accident.

However, the cost of each Avatar exceeded $5 billion, which led RDA to abandon its original intention of using them as miners. Instead, they were used as a communication bridge between humans and the Na'vi, attempting to peacefully persuade the Na'vi to change their settlement so that humans could mine the room temperature superconducting ore located beneath their settlement.

Judging from the fact that they cultivated avatars and created new species, Sui Yang could be certain that the humans on that side were already quite advanced in bioengineering.

Therefore, from aerospace, bioengineering, and special materials to individual soldier equipment and weapon vehicles, all are worthy of immediate introduction by Atlas in the main universe.

Sui Yang's deep understanding of Avatar stems from the fact that before his transmigration, he had spent a considerable amount of time studying and analyzing the plot and setting.

Because the human units in the movie, in terms of both appearance and character design, should theoretically be able to crush the Na'vi of Pandora, but unfortunately, the human side still suffered a crushing defeat.

Besides the plot driven death and the male protagonist's betrayal of humanity, willingly becoming a traitor, there is a crucial factor, Pandora possesses its own consciousness.
